Getting into Los

[wadetheblade]

So I have tried a few cans of los and none of them seemed to stay together for me. Yesterday I opened my first can on Prima Fint. I love it. The flavor is great and it stays in place. I actually made a four click pris with my icetool on my lunch break and went back to work with it in. It stayed together perfect. I kept it in for a little over two hours. Great experience.

I tried more again last night when I was a little drunk. I found being drunk it didn't do much for me. I guess those are the times when I want more nic.

Anyway what are some other kinds of los that stay together like the Prima Fint?

[Veganpunk]

Prima Fint is really good. I'm working on a can now. It holds together better than Ettan.

[wadetheblade]

Ive tried RL, GES, Ettan, and Prima Fint, and so far it is the only one that holds up for me. Also it is a very nice tobacco flavor. I could use this one all day based on the taste.

Skruff stark stayed together for me really well when used it a few years ago, plus the benefit of extra nic.

the best los sneese ive tried are gotland gul, general, and nordstrommen.

[wadetheblade]

Ive got some skruf stark los that I will open next

[sagedil]

I am curious what you will think. This was a los I used when I first tried several years ago. I found it really, really easy to use. And what's interesting, I love the Prima Fint too. My other los that worked really, really well for me.

Nice to hear you talk up some good los, sage. Skruf Stark stays put second only to the Prima IMHO. Roda is good for that too.

[sagedil]

I may still not like los much compared to portions. I may still choose a portion 99 out of 100 days. But did my learning well, my dislike of los has nothing to do with a lack of effort on my part. So yeah, I know what works better than others, can even recommend a los for a newbe. I just still don't like it much. :wink:

[Ulsterman]

I'll second Sages post. I'm still not converted either and prefer portions.
Los doesn't have the nic bite for me and is mucky and inconvenient (for me).

Offroad stayed together the best out of all of them. It was pretty much impossible to break it up but it's pretty weak - it tastes good though.

Granit I found was the strongest and Phantom brown was very good too but they didn't hold together that well - but - when they broke up they spread around your gums nicely and as a result the hit really kicked in.

One of the few I haven't tried was Skruf so I can't comment but I can imagine that it might do the job for you.

I tried los quite a bit, I think, emptied a few cans, I think I liked it more when it was something brand new, but really, now, I don't care for it too much. The taste is less strong than portions to me, but not bad, but what I don't like, is it's like having a Bazook Joe shoved in my gum and sticking on my teeth. Portions are more flavorful, and I like to switch sides, and it's just easier, and I like to lay in bed at night and watch TV, and just lay my portion on the side table and go to sleep. With los if I did that, I'd have to get up remove the pris, should brush my teeth, etc etc. I still have an open can of Phantom Brown Los, and a frozen can of Phantom Brown Los, yes, getsnus sent me the wrong can, twice, and an Oden ES Original Los, which I haven't tried yet. I'll still use it sometimes if I feel like it, but I haven't felt like it in a while.

Don't mean to highjack a thread, but what does the RL Los taste like? Is it on the lines of RL white?

[wadetheblade]

RL los was the first one I tried. Now for me there was no flavor at all, now maybe because this was when I was coming off cigarettes and needed a lot of nic, but It just did nothin for me. Very subdued.

[Veganpunk]

Weird. RL White was one of the first I had that I could distingish from the others. Very fruity.

[daruckis]

RL los is so different. if theres any fruitiness to it, i dont know where its hiding. yeah, roda lacket los is super mild in flavor. i dont think id buy it again. just get ettan.
